Contrast

Five New Images Showcase Contrast's Vaudevillian World

Developer Compulsion Games has offered five new screens for its upcoming film-noir and vaudeville-inspired 1920s puzzle platformer, Contrast.

The game places players in the shoes of Dawn, the imaginary friend of Didi. She is a young girl coping with a traumatic event with Dawn's help. Shadows play in an important role in the game, as Dawn can turn into one herself to reach new areas by traveling along the shadows cast by other objects.

The art style is incredible. Hopefully the gameplay turns out just as good as the game looks. Another upcoming game that looks great is Puppeteer for PS3. Contrast reminds me a bit of that game for some reason and I am looking forward to both. Also, the upcoming PSN game, Rain. It's just good to know that developers can still push out some original ideas every now and again.
